ONE PERSON HAS been killed and 37 others injured in an explosion at a nightclub in Azerbaijan’s capital city Baku, the prosecutor general said.
“One person, a 43-year-old employee was killed,” the prosecutor general was quoted as saying by the Russian news agency RIA Novosti.
“37 others were injured, of whom four are in a serious condition,” the statement said.
RIA Novosti quoted medical sources as saying that an Italian and a Senegalese citizen were among the casualties.
The blast, which occurred at 3am (midnight Irish time), was caused by a leak from a tank of liquefied gas stored in the nightclub, according to the national gas utility, Azerigas.
A fire caused by the explosion has been extinguished and the search and rescue operation completed, the Ministry of Emergency Situations said.

@Barbara J Pym – Trans Advocate: Yea, yea. You knew all the answers and deliberately chose wrong. We see you.
Zero interest. I think I would probably got one correct, if I had bothered guessing the answers. I don’t watch that sort of television. I don’t know anybody who watches it. RTE, is it? Pathetic.
@A D: To be honest, I don’t think anyone watches it!
@Brian Hunt: it’s my Mas religion.
@Brian Hunt: oddly enough it has a huge following. It was cancelled 2 years ago but came back more or less straight away because of public demand.
3/10
Not my forte
CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY BOTH PRESENTERS ON THE FLOOR ARE WOMEN, IN THIS DAY OF EQUALITY SHOULD IT NOT BE “A WOMAN + A MAN” ? Relevant ? ? Or is it a Standard Practice to ignore equal participation !
@James Keogh: equality or equity?
Got 2. Id heard of Samantha Mumba criticise Eurovision and guessed another.
Half these shows are being used as a means of torture by the likes of Russia and NK on prisoners. Apparently prisoners are begging to get waterboarding or electric shock instead of 2 mins of watching the likes love Island.
Nothing
Objection! If Over 2500 is right then the other answers are right too!

Who cares !!!!
